I knocked this up in a hurry yesterday but I think it's good enough to share publicly. The pristichampsine is meant to be trotting along at speed, and that explains why its hat is falling off. Have a great Christmas and New Year - here's to 2013. 2012 was a crazy year for me (annual Tet Zoo review to appear at the end of January); I'm not sure that 2013 is going to be much different. Anyway: peace and love to all. Well, nearly all.
